Bought a guitar after 9 months of not owning one... its good to play again (and my fingers hurt!)_________________When life gives you lemons, some people make lemonade. I just eat them and make a sour face.

Class started again tonight. I have 10 students in my beginning class and soon 3 in my intermediate. I only had one in the later class because of sickness with the other two, so we had a private lesson. It was a lot of fun; I made her howl with laughter several times.

State Inspector came to my classroom to do our QRS assessment today. NERVES STRESS AHHHHHHHHHHH!! Fortunately I was able to stuff my nerves, put on my Suzy Sunshine teacher face, and rock those assessors like a hurricane or like a blizzard in my case. Since there was in fact one outside and we closed early. Thank goodness my husband was lovely and left one of my favorite coffee drinks in my car for me this morning._________________Eureka00: "Reminding you of your addictions" since 1982.

I started watching Never Mind the Buzzcocks. I'd heard about it because I've watched every episode of QI, and some of you had mentioned it. I started with series 19 when Simon took over and, thanks to being congested from a cold, almost died when he said, "There are some things I cannot read. Stephen Fry wouldn't read 'pussy-friendly finger!'"_________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

I don't know that it'll translate as well as QI, which is a funny, general interest show ... but NMTB is frequently hilarious. It was very funny when Mark Lamarr was host, but reached enormous levels of dick-engorging hilarity when Amstell took over. The episode that won't mean anything to you, but was especially brilliant, featured 'Preston' from the landfill indie band 'The Ordinary Boys'. He was especially famous for having married vacuous Paris Hilton impersonator (really) Chantelle Houghton. Amstell did nothing more than read extracts from Houghton's autobiography. Preston went apeshit. It was hilarious.

It doesn't translate well in that I don't know a lot of the people they have on there. But Simon, Phil, and Bill could be talking in Simian and it would be hilarious, so it's all good. I've noticed that there's often one guest who is not enjoying being mocked as much as the others, and Simon hones in on them. I really liked the episode with Amy Winehouse. Simon alternately mocked the hell out of her and seemed genuinely concerned for her (and she, at one point, says, "in another life we'd have been married," which sounds like the most dysfunctional marriage ever)._________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

I never get the music-guessing ones, though, even when I think I know the song. One time I was like, "That's Rock Lobster!" and it was "Gay Bar" by Electric Six._________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

pleasure: i think i'm gonna get a new tat this weekend. i'm trying not to be impulsive but i'm itching for some new skin and playing around with some old and new ideas to come up with something and meet up with an artist.
